Starter code for agentic CLI tools. Open source (github.com)

A new open-source starter code has been released for a CLI-based AI agentic chatbot, designed to enhance interactions by integrating tool-calling capabilities. Developed by Vibe, this initiative aims to deepen understanding of applications like Claude Code, making it a significant resource for the AI/ML community. The framework supports various functionalities, including maintaining conversation history, visual feedback during processing, and error handling, which collectively enhance user experience during continuous interactions with the AI. Key technical features include a REPL (Read-Event-Print Loop) that orchestrates user input, interactions with the agent, and updates to the user interface. The agent operates by calling language models (LLMs) with chat history and relevant tools, facilitating dynamic responses through web searches and other integrations. Users can easily get started by installing dependencies and utilizing their OpenAI API key. This open-source effort not only streamlines the development of chatbots with advanced reasoning but also encourages collaboration and further innovation in AI tool integration.
